$.38

Hours of enjoyment with slime for the kids and me

Mix 1 cup water with borax until dissolved.
In a separate bowl mix 1/2 cup water with glue and food coloring.
Mix them together with a spoon for about 30 seconds until solids begin to form.
Then gather solids, and knead over the bowl until it stays together
and begins to get dry.
Store in an airtight container indefinitely.



Variation-

Add 1 packet kool-aid for smell and color instead of food coloring.
Add 2 t Borax to water and dissolve.

I love making cheap art/science projects.
We had so much fun with the first batch,
we actually made 3 different colors, blue, yellow, and pink.
